Default No Good.

So i was cleaning out my g8 today, throwing some stuff in the trunk so my back seated werent cluttered. So i close the trunk and as im coming down with it my spoiler Snaps off. i snapped off all the little tabs on the inside of the spoiler.

So heres my question, took it to the dealership cause there a stones throw away. and the guy tells me either he can Apoxie it and see if it stays but he told me its 50/50 if it stays or not. or he can replace it.

A) is this apoxie really good like he told me? "dealership grade" he said he would do it for free.

B) buy a new spoiler either the factory replacement or should i get a holden style?

any input would be greatly apprieciated.
